Your old pal Solace here…just thought I’d drop a line and check in since it’s been a little while. The lovely summer Seattle weather has me frolicking about more often, which is nice, and I’m also staying busy! There’s a lot of commission work on my plate right now which is awesome…but due to the sensitivity of these projects, I can’t give away too much right yet!

Probably the biggest news lately is that my ass is finally putting my website together!!! I’ve got loads of goodies to sift through and it’s been a blast taking a stroll down memory lane. It’s been a LONG time coming and I’m really excited to finally put it out there! Finally a one stop spot to see all things Solace!

ello again friends…it’s your old pal solace. yes, i’m okay…no, i didn’t fall in a ditch….i’ve just been mega busy!!!! so enough with the chatter….here’s some pics of stuff that’s been going down…and there’s plenty more on the way. cheers.

whilst preparing some backgrounds, this lil fella decided to dive bomb my situation…he has since taken one for the team and been glazed over…finish product pics coming soon…

“another qualude and she’ll love me in the morning” *inspired by “scarface” …i have a few pieces left from this collection…so if you want a lil g thang in your life, holla!

Just recently I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Richard Darbonne. He’s an excellent photographer working on a project that captures some of the artists from around town…his pictures have a great feel to them…check it out!

I thought I’d start off with the goods this time! Here’s the flier for the Potluck artshow/food drive May 13 and 14. It’s a food themed artshow with over 35 contributing artists! What’s even more special about this event is we’ve teamed up with the Greenwood/Phinney food bank to make for a more meaningful experience. In addition to a kick-butt artshow, we’re also conducting a food drive in the form of a raffle. We have several local businesses and artists who’ve donated graciously to our raffle! To get in on the shwag and help support the food bank…bring cold hard cash or a non-perishable food donation…ALL (100%) OF THE MONEY AND FOOD RAISED FROM THE RAFFLE GOES DIRECTLY TO THE GREENWOOD/PHINNEY FOOD BANK!!!
